Summer Salad

You wouldn’t know it from the weather, but it’s summer in the Pacific Northwest. One of the great joys of summer is a perfectly ripe tomato – something that has been particularly challenging this summer. But if you can find them locally, tossing them with cucumbers in a light vinaigrette is close to mid-day perfection.

This looks delicious. I love the idea of including purslane. Although I’ve tasted it in my garden, and have plenty of it, I’ve yet to include it in a salad. I just got back from a couple of weeks in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and one of my best days was making sheep cheese with a local farmer/farmstead cheesemaker. Although I didn’t get to make the feta (I made Coomersdale and Ben Nevis), I did pick some up to take home. It’s unbelievably delicious. Thanks for the inspiration!
